so you're putting the OEM DPs back on? no more cat-less?
correct. Can’t stand the smell.
Yesterday I had two 8” cherry bombs welded in the upper exhaust where the 2 “empty cans” used to be. It sounds amazing now. Got rid of the rasp when shifting from 1-2 and 2-3.
The cat’s will quiet it down even more.
oh wow. That’s suck. Well. I did some custom work to the spacers. Will report back
Hey, I removed my airbox today and tried to remove the sensors from the downpipes, but they were stuck solid. How hard did you have to crank the wrench and in what direction? I tried and tried and couldn’t do it.

The sensors are unscrewed normally - counterclockwise. They should be installed after coating the thread with high-temperature assembly paste and tightened with a force of 55Nm..
It is possible that your sensors were mounted without mounting paste and the threads simply stuck. With the engine cold, try spraying it with penetrating oil and let it sit for a few hours.
Been over 110 miles and CEL is off. Seen like what I did is working
i got the new spacers that built in with Cat from Walmart. CEL on again for being too lean. So I removed the cat/filter that built into the spacers. Seem like is working
from my understanding sensor can’t be too far in DP or too far out.
I believe I have tried to read through all of the posts and see the overall history of your exhaust mods.
What was the final solution that you ended up with? Could you provide a detail list of what all you did? Did you end up going back to the OEM down pipes and keep the cherry bombs?
Also, where did you purchase the cherry bombs and did you put those on in place of resonators one and two? And then keep resonator as straight pipe?
